There was naturally a reason why the Heavenly Mountain Treasure Seizing Assembly used the words' treasure seizing '.
This time around, it wasn't a simple gathering. There were two truly important locations. One was at the peak of the mountain, it was the gathering place for those at the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. That place was extremely mysterious and wasn't open to those below the sixth level of Heavenly Dipper. Because some of the treasures that appeared there might be exceedingly valuable, there might even be Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants participating.
The other location was located at the waist of the mountain. Just like what Song Jia had said to Qin Wentian, Yincheng invited everyone to gather there. In truth, it wasn't just Yincheng, it was the famous characters of the Xuan King City who would all gather there to seize treasures.
As for the treasure seizing assembly, it meant that there would be people competing for treasures.
The person presenting the treasure would weigh the value of the treasure and call out the item he wanted to trade. Given the number of people gathered there, as long as you could take out a valuable treasure, you wouldn't need to worry that there wouldn't be people competing for it. You would definitely be able to leave in satisfaction. This was the so-called 'treasure seizing'.
For every Treasure Seizing Assembly, because the peak of the mountain was too high, it was extremely mysterious and ordinary people had no way to observe it. Hence, the Treasure Seizing Assembly held at the waist of the mountain would always be the most popular.
Qin Wentian continued up the mountain path. But how high was his vision? He naturally wouldn't be interested in these ordinary items. During these years, he had fought in the wind and rain and had accumulated quite a bit of wealth. If he could exchange for some of the items he needed during the Treasure Seizing Assembly, he wouldn't have come here in vain.
At the waist of the mountain, there was an extremely large piece of flat land that resembled a long corridor that extended all the way to the main peak of the Heavenly Mountain. This place was a boiling cauldron of voices as tens of thousands of people gathered here to spectate. There was only a single ancient path in the center, that was the path used by those presenting treasures.
Following the ancient path, there was a vast empty space in the center. Those presenting treasures could walk there and take out their treasures, calling out the items they wanted to trade for.
Looking further ahead, there should have been a precipice. However, at the side of the precipice, numerous pavilions could be seen. There were many silhouettes sitting there, drinking tea and chatting. These people were the key characters of the Treasure Seizing Assembly and were all extremely famous in the Xuan King City. Only they had the qualifications to appear here.
They were the main characters of the Treasure Seizing Assembly, because the treasures of those who came to present their treasures would most likely be taken away by these people.
"As expected of the Treasure Seizing Assembly of the Heavenly Mountain. Qin Wentian thought to himself as he blended into the crowd. He saw two people beside him whispering to each other, discussing which outstanding people the other side was facing.
Qin Wentian turned his gaze towards the pavilions by the side of the precipice. There were over ten groups there, and the majority of those seated in the main seats were young geniuses. After all, for Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns below the age of fifty, they were all Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns from the peak sects and clans of the Xuan King City.
Qin Wentian's gaze landed on one of the two main seats in the middle. The person on the left had a cultivation base at the third level of Heavenly Dipper. His skin was extremely fair, giving off a gloomy and cold feeling. Although there was a smile in his eyes, the occasional gleam of sharpness in his eyes contained a hint of coldness. With a single glance, one could tell that this person was a ruthless and ruthless character. Not only that, he had an innate sense of arrogance.
From the words of the people beside him, this person was none other than the young master of the Yin Clan, Yin Cheng. Although Yin Cheng had a grudge with Song Jia, he wasn't a useless silkpants. This year, he was only twenty-five years old and had already broken through to the third level of Heavenly Dipper. His talent could be considered outstanding even in the Yin Clan. Not only that, he dared to make a move against a fifth-ranked weaponsmith, exterminating his entire clan. From this, one could very well imagine how ruthless and ruthless he was.
Naturally, the prerequisite for him to do so was that the authority bestowed upon him by his clan was exceedingly great. This was why he dared to make a move against a fifth-ranked weaponsmith.
However, Yin Cheng wasn't the most dazzling character today. The person beside him attracted even more attention compared to him.
This person was a female. Her beauty was definitely on the level of a calamity. Her skin was as fair as snow, and there were no flaws to be found on her facial features. What was even more outstanding was her demeanor, exuding a sense of nobility and coldness, causing others to not dare to look her in the eyes. But precisely because of this, the hearts of the spectators were filled with fantasies of wanting to get close to her. However, they only dared to fantasize about it in their hearts. Every time the gaze of this female swept past them, many would lower their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
This female was one of the most famous beauties in the Xuan King City. In terms of beauty, she could be ranked in the top three in the city. And in terms of birth, she was a princess of the King Manor.
Regardless of her appearance or birth, it was sufficient to cause others to feel ashamed of their inferiority.
Qin Wentian's gaze was also attracted by this female, and he couldn't help but cast a few more glances at her. It was the nature of men to love beauty, and it was only natural that some would be unable to be swayed by beauty, while some wouldn't be able to control themselves.
Qin Wentian stared at her, but based on his temperament, he only felt that this female was extraordinary. He wouldn't be mesmerized by her. After all, in terms of beauty, how many people could be compared to the empire-toppling Mo Qingcheng or the ice maiden Qing 'er?
Shang Yue's gaze swept over the crowd, and abruptly, she furrowed her brows as her gaze landed on a young man. This young man was clad in white, and had an ancient sword strapped to his back. It was simple, clean, and exuded a transcendent aura. Yet, he actually dared to stare directly at her.
A sharp glint of light flickered in Shang Yue's eyes. Qin Wentian naturally sensed it, and he involuntarily smiled as he shifted his gaze away. Only then did Shang Yue's eyes shift away from him.
Qin Wentian then turned his gaze onto the others. Those who were able to gather together with Yin Cheng and Shang Yue naturally weren't ordinary people.
To the left of Yin Cheng, there were several young men and women sitting there. All of them exuded an extraordinary aura, and there were even some with cultivation bases at the fifth level of Heavenly Dipper.
They were disciples from the number one sect in the Xuan King City, the Heaven Shocking Sword Sect.
The disciples of the Heaven Shocking Sword Sect were all proficient in sword arts, and their combat prowess was unparalleled. Yin Cheng was also a disciple of the Heaven Shocking Sword Sect. Not only him, even Song Jia was from the same sect as him. Song Jia had once dared to contradict him in public, and because of that, she was hunted down.
To the right of Shang Yue, there were people from the Golden Fire Aristocrat Clan, one of the three strongest aristocrat clans in the Xuan King City.
And to the right, there were people from the Wind Roc Aristocrat Clan.
The Yin Clan, Golden Fire Aristocrat Clan, and Wind Roc Aristocrat Clan. Among them, the Yin Clan was the strongest, while the Golden Fire Aristocrat Clan and Wind Roc Aristocrat Clan were slightly weaker. However, they were still extremely terrifying, having Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants in their ranks.
Other than them, the other characters seated in the pavilions were all from major sects. Their strength and status were extraordinary, which was why they had the qualifications to sit there.
Before this, Qin Wentian had already understood the strength of Grand Shang. The seven major powers in the Royal Shang Empire were already comparable to the transcendent powers of Grand Xia. And as for the strongest royal capital, there was no need to mention the fact that there were peak-level Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants in the Royal Shang Empire. There were also a few other major sects that had strength comparable to them.
The Grand Shang Empire was an entire level higher compared to the Grand Xia Empire.
Now that he was in a king city, although he had many methods, it would naturally be better if he could obtain some life-saving treasures. After all, he was alone now. As long as he could preserve his life, there was nothing for him to worry about. As for Qing 'er, she was much more powerful compared to him, there was no need for him to worry about her.
"Princess, I see that everyone is already prepared. Why don't we start presenting our treasures?" At this moment, Yin Cheng turned his gaze onto Shang Yue as he asked with a smile.
"Today, I'm only a participant. You decide." Shang Yue's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely clear.
"Right." Yin Cheng smiled and nodded. After which, he turned his gaze onto the crowd as he continued, "For this year's Treasure Seizing Assembly, I believe that those who present their treasures will not disappoint the princess. As long as you take out your treasures, feel free to speak your mind."
In the Treasure Seizing Assembly, those who presented their treasures wanted Yuan Meteor Stones. But there were also those who wanted innate techniques or divine weapons, hoping to trade for them.
When the crowd heard Yin Cheng's words, the atmosphere instantly turned lively. However, those who presented their treasures here without any valuable treasures wouldn't be able to enter the eyes of these people. Hence, the treasures traded here in the Treasure Seizing Assembly were all extraordinary treasures.
At this moment, a silhouette walked out from the ancient pathway, causing the gazes of the crowd to stiffen. The person who walked out was actually an extremely beautiful young lady. Not only that, she didn't mask her face to conceal her identity.
Yin Cheng frowned as a sinister light flickered in his eyes. This Song Jia actually dared to appear in front of him?
Those from the Heaven Shocking Sword Sect also had looks of bewilderment on their faces as they stared at Song Jia.
Song Jia directly walked to the center of the crowd. She stared at Yin Cheng as she spoke, "Song Jia spoke nonsense earlier and offended Senior Brother Yin, ruining your reputation. I'm here today to apologize. Senior Brother, please punish Song Jia accordingly."
Yin Cheng coldly snorted in his heart. This Song Jia was truly intelligent. After escaping, she delivered herself to his doorstep. Not only that, in such a situation, in consideration of his face, he wouldn't be too ruthless to her. She wanted to use such a method to protect herself? What a joke.
However, wasn't her thinking a little too naive?
Although Yin Cheng was thinking this in his heart, a smile could be seen on his face.
"Song Jia, you slandered your Senior Brother Yin Cheng in public and you still have the face to beg for mercy?" At this moment, a young man from the Heaven Shocking Sword Sect had a cold expression on his face as he stared at Song Jia. This person had already been interested in Song Jia back when they were still in the Heaven Shocking Sword Sect. However, Song Jia was too arrogant and proud. Now that she had offended Yin Cheng, how could she survive?
Song Jia gritted her teeth as she stared at that person. This person was one of her Senior Brothers, named Yang Ting. His talent was outstanding, but he had a lecherous personality. He had harassed her many times before, but she refused, causing him to hate her in her heart.
"Song Jia, you have tarnished my reputation in public. Originally, I should have challenged you to a duel and killed you. But on account that we are both from the same sect, I shall spare your life and allow you to be my slave. Today, since I am presenting a treasure, I shall be the one presenting the treasure. The treasure I'm presenting is none other than this female. Her value is one low-grade Yuan Meteor Stone. If there's anyone who is willing, they can trade for her. Song Jia, are you willing?"
Song Jia's countenance paled as she bit her lips. Indeed, this Yin Cheng didn't want to spare her. Not only did he treat her as a slave, he even wanted to trade for a low-grade Yuan Meteor Stone.
"I'm willing." Song Jia's voice trembled as she agreed. In her heart, if there was no way out, she would rather die than implicate her Clan.
At this moment, the crowd naturally knew who this female was. They all felt pity for her in their hearts. But what status did the Yin Clan and Yin Cheng have in Xuan King City? Although many people knew about this, no one dared to say anything. Now that Song Jia had said this in front of so many people, how could she not suffer revenge?
"Since this is the case, on account that we are from the same sect, Song Jia, I shall accept you as my slave. At the same time, I don't want you to fall into the hands of evildoers. Since you are from the same sect, I will naturally take care of you." At this moment, Song Jia's Senior Brother Yang Ting spoke once more, as though he was showing kindness to Song Jia. However, an evil light flickered in the depths of his eyes. If Song Jia fell into his hands, wouldn't it be as simple as serving tea?
Although those from the Heaven Shocking Sword Sect understood Yang Ting's personality, Yang Ting's cultivation base was at the third level of Heavenly Dipper. His talent was extraordinary, and in addition to the fact that Yin Cheng was the mastermind behind all this, no one was willing to offend Yin Cheng for the sake of Song Jia.
"This female is mine." However at this moment, a voice drifted out from the crowd, causing the countenances of the crowd to stiffen. They turned their gazes onto the crowd, searching for the person who spoke!
